If Part 2 covers all the software issues we had during production, your audience is in for a treat. Thank you for asking me to do a cameo, miss you guys!
@@haileyrain9305 Well I had a nice long comment basically saying yes, I'd love that, but I made a grave tactical error and somehow deleted the entire thing. I have no clue how I did that, but in essence, I love those kinds of behind the scenes videos.
So grateful that you guys are sharing this look into your process. Any beginner animator can learn a lot from this series! Just... don't let Mojang see it...
@UnidentifiedFlyingSquirrel well yes it does take time but how quickly it comes out mainly depends on how experienced and how often the animator is/works on it.
Broooo this was so much workkkk to make for a behind the scenes. The comedy in this one has to be one of your best! Really loved it!! (Ps. How dare you leave alone me with Cinema 4D xoxo)
The fact that they started as a "villager news" joke and turned into animators that are requested by mojang themselves show how much they evolved over the years.
When you make the world's strongest coffee using the world's strongest coffee using the world's strongest coffee using the world's strongest coffee using the world's strongest coffee using the world's strongest coffee
From making animations of an egg to animating for Mojang, Element Animation has gone a long way since 2011. Also the inclusion of the goat eating glitch in the animation is my favorite part of this whole thing.
Errors that I noticed that weren’t mentioned: in the desert area with the rabbit error, there is a Husk on a cactus. During the ancient city section, the zombie is missing it’s helmet. During the section near the Minecart section, a pillager bops early.
It is so amazing to see how far this channel has gone. I am so glad that I have stumbled upon this channel when I was a kid. Thank you Element Animation.
Element Animation is the best animation channel on TH-cam! I'm so grateful they can still make cool stuff like this, especially official animations for Mojang.
As a TV Productions student in highschool, this really tickles my soft spots because this is almost exactly how the support facilitator would analyze every morning show and video created by our respective groups.
Its fun how before villager news element animation did many other things not around Minecraft and their "mascot" was a living egg character. But since villager news was so popular they became their new "mascot"
As someone who learned to use Maya a few years ago after using Blender for 4 Years, it's a pain regarding bugs and crashes because, as my Professor would say, Maya is sensitive when you're mean to them.
I love this channel so much and it’s so awesome to see how far you’ve come, but anybody else remember when this channel used to just be about an egg in Minecraft☠️☠️☠️
these videos are amazing, usually channels feel like they dont show **real** frustrations/jokes in their team, but this really humanises the element animation team!
These are some of my favorite videos on this channel, cause as someone who's also trying to do animation, it reminds me that at the end of the day, animation will always be a process full of mistakes and an animation doesn't have to be perfect to be good.
If you have commands on, you can lock the chest by modifying the block data using the base command of /data and figuring it out from there. You can also set a name for an item to act as a key, so that only it alone can open the chest. And this lock property doesn’t just apply to chests or ender chests. You can use it on Barrels, Brewing Stands, Hoppers, Dispensers, Droppers, Smokers, Furnaces, and Blast Furnaces.
The frog clipping through the glass actually makes more sense. Cause grass in minecraft has no collision so the frog would phase through it in the normal game.
I think that if they keep making less and less videos every year, then this channel is going to faded into obscurity. At this point, I think they're moving on to make projects for Minecon and working for clients. While I feel sad that they're no longer produce egg content, I’m happy for them to try something different away from TH-cam and stuff. And I'm using Maya for animation school. Even if they announced that they would quit TH-cam, I would say, thank you for the memories I had with this channel and best wishes for the future.
Normally I would expect a video about animation mistakes to be boring, but these guys are so good at keeping the humor going well throughout the video, I laughed so much!
It looks like the pillager is bobbing it's head early. At 13:12 when all the other mobs are just standing there you can just barely see his head moving back and forth between the zombies gold helmet and right arm (left side of the zombie from our perspective).
I think the funniest thing here is something unnoticed. the Zombie looses it's Golden helmet from time to time, especially in the warden cave, he even talked about the unanimated zombie but completely failed to notice the missing helmet. clearly zombie was accidentally forgotten here
Honestly, the rabbit just chilling in the end makes it even better. I see it more of an Easter egg then a mistake, regardless of how it got there. (10:02 for context)
You guys are my favorite. Been watching since I was 12. One of the biggest reasons I'm so obsessed with animation now. I'd love to learn 3d animation but don't really have the money for all the fancy programs or college so for now I'm stuck doing my own little 2D animations but hopefully one day I'll learn the art of 3D animation! ❤
Man... You can see how much they've improve over the years :> I still remember the good ol' days where there's The Crack! Series, Jason's Adventures in Minecraft, and the other Series they made :T But uhh ye, I'm glad how they improve so much overtime, and I'm still hoping that The Crack! Series will return sometime soon :
I like how the video consisted of a few references to old videos. Here’s all that I could find. 0:50 A squid lands on the villager’s face. This is a callback to the song 500 Chunks, a parody of 500 Miles. At the beginning of the second chorus, a squid pops out of the water and lands on the accompanying villager’s face. The scream also sounds similar. 1:40 James is asked why he’s in the call, and he replies with “But I want to be in here.” This is a reference to the last Minecraft Short, James isn’t allowed in here. At least he isn’t kicked out this time, though. 12:47 A reference to the original Christmas with the Villagers. A villager in the original clip, throws a snowball at another villager. This time, though, the villager throwing the axe isn’t attacked like in the original.
As someone who is in college right now for animation this was awesome to watch! Its awesome that you guys went from creating fan animations to working for the game that you made the animations about!! Please keep sharing behind the scene stuff like this! Its a greate inspiration, helps understand the prosses of what it takes to make stuff like, and what can go wrong. Not enough studios do this, thank you! Also I can feel the pain of software switching.
I like how this is how i find out whats new after so many years of moving on from minecraft its so intresting to see the errors and the fact the team worked for minecraft. And i hear youre doing it again in 2024!
If you really hate the 3 lines on a Minecraft sign, you can use the "Pixel Consistent Signs" texture from VanillaTweaks. It has 2 lines, which is more aesthetically pleasing.
8:46 this is actually kind of accurate to how the game works if the frogs were just walking in a straight line I find it hilarious that the video had a chunk error
I love the work you lot do, you few are so lucky to be able to push through the problems and work with what is one of the most positive and friendly development studios
I LOVED THAT VIDEO!!!! Thank you! You're amazing and wow learning to animate on a new software is very hard! I admire that dedication so much! Keep going! Your work is amazing and VERY entertaining!
Your guys' sense of humour is fantastic! That plus the incredible animation makes for content that I can't get enough of! Thanks for doing everything you do.
Kudos to Element Animation for working so hard for not only making these videos but also finding all of the mistakes in them. (Also there is a weird texture glitch on the corner of the boat here at 2:32, love your vid’s by the way!)
I think the in between animations are intentionally quickly slapped together as there are a few small errors and glitches on those o: but that's one I didn't see - dang
@@adrianamarcinkova9383He’s what we call ‘a bot’. Basically put, he makes the same comment several times on different videos, changing the name at the start every time, hoping to drag attention to himself
Problems Schmoblems! These animations were fantastic -- Huge props to you and the team! Animators should always strive for excellence and not perfection :)
If Part 2 covers all the software issues we had during production, your audience is in for a treat. Thank you for asking me to do a cameo, miss you guys!
Being honest, I would love to see a video like that
@@haileyrain9305 Well I had a nice long comment basically saying yes, I'd love that, but I made a grave tactical error and somehow deleted the entire thing.
I have no clue how I did that, but in essence, I love those kinds of behind the scenes videos.
Oh dear...
I can’t help but wonder if Element Animation does every cinematic animation for Mojang Studios.😕😕😕
Hello
I love how you can just hear the Villager voice in certain bits of Dan’s speech
Especially when Joel's mug is floating 😂😂😂😂
It's stuck to him like a curse
C4
Tbh. I thought sethbling was behind element animations when I was a kid since bite sized Minecraft’s happen on his channel. Man was i proven wrong.
15:32 is where you actually hear the little villager imitation.
Element 12 years ago: "Hi. I'm a Mac." "And I'm Jason."
Element now: "Hey guys. Mojang asked us to make five videos for them."
They made Villager News Canon!
So grateful that you guys are sharing this look into your process. Any beginner animator can learn a lot from this series! Just... don't let Mojang see it...
Well hello there
HES ALLLIIIVVVVEEEEE
IT'S THE REAL BLOCKFACTS, I'M A BIG FAN
why?
Good point
6:12 well mobs can go trough grass so technically it's not a bug.. it's just the animation being loyal to the original game!
Ye
Ye that's what I'm saying
exactly.
Problem #15 (12:53) is also technically not a bug, as players in-game can go through signs too.
@Ben what?
You can’t just apologize for not uploading and then not upload for another 5 months, I NEED Y’ALLS CONTENT, ITS SO GOOD
animation takes time
@@Banana_Satan I know that much, a 8 second animation I made took 4 days, imagine a whole 10-30 minute video
twas about to comment about this
Yes
@UnidentifiedFlyingSquirrel well yes it does take time but how quickly it comes out mainly depends on how experienced and how often the animator is/works on it.
Broooo this was so much workkkk to make for a behind the scenes. The comedy in this one has to be one of your best! Really loved it!!

They abandoned you and went to Maya 😂

When will you be back ?

No replies ????
Does anyone els miss villager news
@@Shoinz_ForeveRthey still do villager news, it just takes a long while to animate
And Mojang made villager news cannon! Don’t forget that!

Also the April fools update
Nice to see you back! ❤
How were you so quick?
Each one of these are scam accounts??
@@jangoboi4119 I have notifications on for the channel?
@@derrickstorm6976 what?
How did you comment before the video was uploaded?
Errors that I noticed that weren’t mentioned: in the desert area with the rabbit error, there is a Husk on a cactus. During the ancient city section, the zombie is missing it’s helmet. During the section near the Minecart section, a pillager bops early.
Why would the zombie in the ancient city section need a helmet
@@merarie33It has a helmet every other time it appears.
I love how they do this. It's entertaining, informative and interesting without ever being boring
It is so amazing to see how far this channel has gone. I am so glad that I have stumbled upon this channel when I was a kid. Thank you Element Animation.
back when we were still intrigued with the adventures of Jason and Steve 😔

When the world needed Element Animation the most, they returned!!!
We need part 19 eggs guide
wrong, now is when the world need them.
I like that they not only point out the mistakes but also provide some backstory and reason
and don't forget the humour :P
Its fun how before villager news element animation did many other things not around Minecraft and their "mascot" was a living egg character. But since villager news was so popular they became their new "mascot"
Imagine every time they find something wrong, they say “Wah-wah-wahhh!”

Sounds like someone had some issues
Oh God, I'm about to learn how to use Maya in college- 💀
@@crazy8animations763 Good luck...you're gonna need it.
I love this channel so much and it’s so awesome to see how far you’ve come, but anybody else remember when this channel used to just be about an egg in Minecraft☠️☠️☠️
The frog that clips into the grass isn't a problem. It's super accurate to real Minecraft. Same with Alex's arm going through the sign.
these videos are amazing, usually channels feel like they dont show **real** frustrations/jokes in their team, but this really humanises the element animation team!
Very True!
Exactly 😂❤
Loved the James isn’t alowed in here as well as everything else
Fantastic job as usual!
These are some of my favorite videos on this channel, cause as someone who's also trying to do animation, it reminds me that at the end of the day, animation will always be a process full of mistakes and an animation doesn't have to be perfect to be good.
When the world needed them the most, they returned
And now they’re gone again…
The real question is why doesn't Mojang hire Element to make a proper Minecraft Movie
Hold judgement until seeing the whole movie you stupid idiot
3:55 that locked chest is actually a pretty good idea for a minecraft update
Locked chest is already a 2012 April Fools joke.
You can simply break the chest and there's also the ender chest which is a way better concept
If you have commands on, you can lock the chest by modifying the block data using the base command of /data and figuring it out from there. You can also set a name for an item to act as a key, so that only it alone can open the chest.
And this lock property doesn’t just apply to chests or ender chests. You can use it on Barrels, Brewing Stands, Hoppers, Dispensers, Droppers, Smokers, Furnaces, and Blast Furnaces.
Imagine creating a locked ender chest, try to unlock it and steal peoples stuff only to get your own stuff
@@bwp70you mean 2011
The frog clipping through the glass actually makes more sense. Cause grass in minecraft has no collision so the frog would phase through it in the normal game.

Learning to model and animate in Maya in my college classes, I feel 3:35 so hard.
SAME! Seems sometimes that merely using hotkeys causes a crash...
Normally I would expect a video about animation mistakes to be boring, but these guys are so good at keeping the humor going well throughout the video, I laughed so much!
15:48 you can count this as a "goat simulator reference"
It looks like the pillager is bobbing it's head early. At 13:12 when all the other mobs are just standing there you can just barely see his head moving back and forth between the zombies gold helmet and right arm (left side of the zombie from our perspective).

There's no pillager
@@darkshadow2314 its really small but you can see him behind (not reallybehind but its behind from our perspective) the zombie
@@carlsanchez9087 oh yeaa
I clearly forgot that they work for Minecraft Live now,man take the time you need guys,you deserve it
also at 8:52 , the arch illager goes from his chair, to the ground, immediately once the shot changes angles
Incredible to see how far Element Animation has come, they started with Minecraft fan animations to making official Minecraft animations.
I quite enjoyed this deep dive into the making of this announcement trailer.
Every single one of the projects you release is amazing. Most of those mistakes went unnoticed
I think the funniest thing here is something unnoticed. the Zombie looses it's Golden helmet from time to time, especially in the warden cave, he even talked about the unanimated zombie but completely failed to notice the missing helmet. clearly zombie was accidentally forgotten here
He was damaged by the warden
Honestly, the rabbit just chilling in the end makes it even better.
I see it more of an Easter egg then a mistake, regardless of how it got there.
(10:02 for context)
17:29 the cube on the upper left corner be chillin
I loved that opening bit. The people at Element Animation are so hard on themselves.
I love how you started with funny videos and now are the go to source for original animations by mojang! Well done!
I like how you can tell the main person is a voice for the Villagers
it's always good day when Element animation upload , For real it's one of the few channel that grow up with and still subbed too .
ok ok ok

Proud of all of you
Finally they are back. I can almost imagine 80 year old me watching the final egg's guide to minecraft
A lot of the problems were things that would probably work by minecraft logic, such as the frog clipping through grass.
14:16 😂 I love the coofy villagers so much.... "We're so bumpy." 😂
I love how Mine-imator is mentioned at 2:03

more like i always render back💀

I'm so starved for Minecraft Animation content this past year, thank you Element Animation
Always love the Villagers, but it's incredibly fun to see the actual team animated. Y'all are great!

7:45 He's just standing on a tree...MENACINGLY!
My favorite part was just the villagers being goofy. We need villager news once again.
oh yeah they're also canon
Villager news❤❤
I still love the frog eating a goat which mojang noticed that and called it a "glitch"
What was funny
There’s no way there are only three of you guys initially that’s insane considering the quality of the animations
They hire more people for their bigger projects of course, having only the three of them working on this would be inhumane.
Very fun watch! It's so cool to get a little bit of insight into how making these kinds of animations work!
If you really hate the 3 lines on a Minecraft sign, you can use the "Pixel Consistent Signs" texture from VanillaTweaks. It has 2 lines, which is more aesthetically pleasing.
Always enjoy seeing the behind the scenes and looking back at production as you can really appreciate the work that goes into projects like this.
I knew the style looked different! It's so cool how you learned a whole new animation software in less than a year! Great work!
learned, or winged it? :P
11:31 Another problem, it's at post-layout
As an audio engineer who wants to get into Animation, I found this very informative.
4:18 barely anyone would even notice
phoenix sc: and i took that personally
8:46 this is actually kind of accurate to how the game works if the frogs were just walking in a straight line
I find it hilarious that the video had a chunk error
I love the work you lot do, you few are so lucky to be able to push through the problems and work with what is one of the most positive and friendly development studios
13:41 I started laughing at the fact that the Hoglin was just shaking. Imagine if Element Animation redid the video but with the shaking.
Hoglin had too much "nether wart"
15:29
Dan: Hey crissy wake up.
me: *resisting the urge*
I don't like this
Crissy, wake up!
Hey, hello?
